| In this tutorial we will learn to start a Substrate chain that takes its initial state from an existing live blockchain. This technique is useful for investigating bugs, testing runtime upgrades, performing airdrops, and "forking" a community during a contentious disagreement. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It would be interesting for this tutorial to be wrapped up in an exercise of investigating a bug or testing an upgrade...or both. It would also be nice to hear about how this technique can be used for airdops or forking. Also may want to consider rewording the events that may lead to a fork.

This Draft PR sketches an idea for a tutorial that demonstrates the new
export-statesubcommand introduced in paritytech/substrate#5842This tutorial should not be merged until it is fully fleshed out, or course, but even then it shouldn't be merged until we have alpha.7 because the features discussed are not present in alpha.6
@danforbes I've sketched this to address your idea for writing a recipe about export-state. In my opinion it makes more sense to write a tutorail because tutorials take users on a journey (in this case the journey of cloning a chain) whereas recipes show off a thing one can build.
